We discuss how executives can make a difference personally & professionally by combining business acumen with interpersonal skills in this edition of Global Leader Radio!™ Becky Blalock and Lisa McLeod joined host Alvin C. Miles to share their passion and experiences as they discussed the value of education, focusing on noble purpose & being more accepting of risks.

Here are seven takeaways from our discussion:

 

  1. People who “sell” with a sense of noble purpose drive more revenue.
  2. As human beings we are programmed to be negative.

  3. If you want to be a strong leader, it has to begin within!
  4. Don’t ignore the importance of mentoring and coaching.
  5. “Dogs don’t chase parked cars!”

  6. How will the customer be different by doing business with us?

  7. Pay as much attention to your next boss, as your next position.

Listen in as Becky and Lisa describe the value proposition of an Executive MBA Program. Add these insights to your leadership toolkit to help increase YOUR influence. Leadership IS a conversation!
